Lòw lights tavern in North Tyneside

Great place, very friendly and welcoming. We had the pies, chips, and peas, but it was the gravy thick with meat that added to the meal. Will be back!

Really old pub not far from the quayside. We originally stopped just for a drink but when we saw the food coming out we decided to eat too. Husband had the special, baked smoked cod with veg and chips which he said was delicious. I had scampi after a long debate with myself about the pies which looked fantastic. The chips were some of the best I’ve had, the portions were large and the food was overall excellent. Definitely worth stopping. Highly recommended

Went one lunchtime for drinks and a meal based on the good reviews. First problem, flat cloudy pint, told barrel just changed but people at the bar said that beer always being returned. Ordered food which arrived in reasonable time, tepid chips and cold peas and a very mediocre pie, not great for £15. Dog's on seats and being fed by customers. All in all a very poor experience, not recommended.

Nice food,good portion size, friendly staff

Great food, service, vibe and music, a must visit if you're coming to Tyneside.

Friendly pub with good beers and food.

Good beer. Good food. Good craic.

Always a fab meal and warm welcome, whether it be the pie or roast lunch, the food is fantastic xx

What a little gem this place is! Fabulous, delicious food, excellent customer service and a great, friendly atmosphere.....we'll defo be back.

400 yr old traditional pub offering great homemade food (especially pies and burgers) but not a lot in the way of seating....many stools instead of chairs and small tables as it's not exactly part of a large modern chain. Friendly, attentive staff and quality food make up for these shortcomings, but my aching back may disagree for the rest of this evening !

Fantastic pub - really friendly service, good food and nice choice of ales (and a lot cheaper than back in Cambs!). Thoroughly recommend it

Amazing, best steak pie and chips in North east, so much steak in the pie I struggled to finish it all. Well worth a visit.

Great little pub! Traditional and quirky with a great menu and selection of wines, gins, whisky... we just popped in for a pre-dinner G&T but will definitely be back to sample food. Apparently the Sunday roast is the best in the fish quay.. tbc! Great staff,friendly service.

An historic and traditional bar by the quayside, this is well worth a visit. Excellent cask ale, as well as keg and a huge array of other drinks. We sat outside in the sun as the world struggled by on the hill. Inside is a traditional low brown bar with a couple of rooms and space to sit and stretch. It's not expensive and the service is very swift and friendly. Nothing is too big much trouble. Lovely people. I didn't eat, but saw what others had and it looked delicious. I didn't hear any complaints from anyone about anything. Definitely happy to recommend this bar.

Considering the chef was off they still managed well on a reduced menu. The pies and fish and chips were top knotch.

This is a really old pub with fantastic atmosphere and wood floors. (1800's??) Great beer. They are "world famous in the North East" for their pies. Highly recommended.

Always consistantly good food, drinks and service. Huge portions and super tasty food.

The best pie and mash for sure. Great cask beers too

Great little pub, if you can get in as it does get busy, but if you do the food and drink are great. I ordered a corned beef pie last time I was there…..massive portions and proper home cooked food that is RAELLY tasty.

HIGHLEY DISSAPOINTED WILL NEVER RETURN!! TREATED LIKE AN ANIMAL First impressions were great! Got there and the lady behind the bar was so incredibly friendly, prompt service. It was very busy after the match but the staff dealth with this well. We got a table which was small for 3 people, and it felt quite tight. Ordered food and made clear I either wanted a kids meal for my dog or a larger meal to share with a dog with bowl or side plate, as I wouldn’t be able to eat this on my own. I was told to get the more expensive adult meal to share and told this would be more than enough for both of us. My meal came and no side plate dog bowl, I asked again and the male server said he would go get me one and then after some time saw him serving behind the bar with no intention to get me the plates or bowls. I went to the bar and asked the other male if my plate or bowl was coming for the dog where I was told THE CHEF has strict instructions you cannot feed the food inside under no circumstances, sorry I’m paying for to the dog and his food and I’m not allowed to feed him under no circumstances! I said I’m paying for my food and I nearly ordered him a kids meal, I made clear my intentions before I ordered, if I had been told this was not allowed I would of ordered a regular meal for myself. He said best I can do is give you a box you can leave ur table and feed ur dog outside. Hold on I’m a paying custermer but you’re going to send me out into the street in the rain to feed my dog …. YES!!! so I did I went out into the rain to feed my dog from a box, food that I would never of ordered if I knew this was the case. The lady behind the bar who had been loverly apologised and said I’m so sorry you did tell me ur intentions, I don’t know why the chef is doing this just feed the dog she could see I was really upset, but I felt so uncomfortable at this point like I was going to get into trouble, for feeding my dog food I paid for and made clear what my intentions were before I ordered. I filled his box with left over meat and veg as the meal was much to big for me and the male server then picked up the box and began to take it away like rubbish, I said that’s the dogs food you wouldn’t let me feed my dog? At this point the box was covered now with cream from the dessert and he said you want a new box then I said forget about it! We were treated terribly I felt so uncomfortable in there and didnt want to stay tbh. you can’t be dog friendly but then send peoole outside in the rain and then remove food people pay for. Supply no water or dog bowls? That’s the most un dog friendly place I’ve ever been to. Just ban dogs! But I guess you’re in competition with other pubs who actually are dog friendly so you pretend to be. The Sunday lunch was tasteless I’m not sure why the chefs so protective over his terrible meal and is definitely not worth £17.99 Such fond childhood memories from this bar when the fish quay festival was on all those years ago ….I’ll never be back. The lady behind the bar is loverly tho and could tell she was incredibly embarrassed about the whole situation! A chef telling a paying customer what they can and can’t do with their food is insane. My advice maybe make it policy to tell ppl before they order, have signs or have a convo with the custermer. Or just don’t be dog friendly!

Brilliant place to call at for drink at least. The food looked superb and well priced.

Hope to be back soon! Best people I've ever met.

Fantastic little pub with great food. No

Lush pies nice staff. Love that you can take the dogs in

Best steak and ale pie I've ever had in my life

Really delicious vegan pie and chips, super friendly service :)

Awesome pub... Just smells of the fish inside. Great pub with 2 bars and on Saturday had live music

I had heard rumours about the pies and my first visit did not disappoint. Superb choice of pies, difficult to choose from so many different options but very happy with my selection of the steak pie. Can't wait to try another one!

Food is really good. The pies are good sized and quite nice The prices are pretty good and service was relatively quick.

We love the pies but tried the burgers for a change. Both the beef and cajun chicken were so tasty.

Lovely old pub which is full of character. Good on a sunny day sitting outside

Fantastic pub, enjoyed the young man singing and everyone joining in. Came back next day and had a fantastic Sunday roast. Highly reccommend

Food and service always spot on

Had the pleasure of eating in here last night, first experience but guaranteed it won’t be the last, food was amazing and staff were top drawer….. thank you, and once again the Mince and Dumplings off the planet, my friends Steak and Ale Pie was best ever (his words) and his wife said Scampi was unbelievable, with a few Guinness and Lager bill was £64-00… unbelievable value 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just had a lovely steak pie with mash and peas, I couldn't eat it all and the staff kindly boxed it up for me to take home with extra gravy

Absoloutley amazing food! I don't think I'll ever have a pie as good as that in my life ❤️ delicious! So much food on offer and good range of drinks!

Brilliant service, staff and atmosphere ! Amazing pint of Draught Bass served here, just ask for Big George behind the bar a real ale expert !!!!! Homemade pies and twice cooked chips .... Amazing !! As usual a great pint of draught Bass !!!! See George for good real ale !!!!! Re posting because it is quality !!

Was a fantastic atmosphere, very friendly people, they had a jamming session after the artists had finished, people dancing and enjoying themselves. Will definitely be going back soon!

Perfectly cooked Sunday roasts to savour. Some great locally brewed beers to offer too. What's not to like?

Great home made food and excellent service from Julia and Lindsay, who go that extra mile. The pies are something else !!

A good pub just a short walk from the beach, and a nice pint!

We stumbled upon this place purely by accident, what a find. A proper traditional English 'boozer', full of character AND characters, great real ale and the most amazing home made pie and mash. Don't pass this one by if you happen to find yourself in North Shields, a treat awaits you.

Oldie worldie pub food was fantastic service top notch would certainly recommend

Small little pub (emphasis on small) in the heart of the fish quay

The steak & cheddar pie is the best I’ve ever had, proper, golden brown twice cooked chips and lush beef dripping gravy. Finished off with some jam roley-poley. Banging. Great pints, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Food was delish, old school mince and dumplings. Quaint pub too

Absolutely brilliant. My first visit to this amazing pub . Definitely be back!!😊

Fantastic venue. Tasty food. Famed forpies Doesn't disappoint.

Good food, good beer and very friendly. Also music fairly regularly.

Fantastic bar, lots of character, good range of food and drinks. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Brilliant food and staff could you have some fresh vegetables options as don't eat potatoes but felt really welcome feel as a I usually walk my dog alone i could come in by myself see you Sunday Thank you x

Gem of a pub. The owner and staff are very friendly and the beer is excellent.

Authentic and honest to its roots pub famed for pies and Sunday roast. Has an open fire and a separate bar area where you can wait with a drink for a table to become available.

Perfect beer, good atmosphere, as normal. Great pub for us all. 🎶

Iconic North Shields pub from around 1650, amazing home made pies plus daily specials (fish pie sounded amazing) and regular pub classics. The Steak and Lowlights Ale pie was fantastic.

Been going here since 2014 - what's not to love great pies, service & beer! Kate is so warm & friendly. I love an independent owned pub much better than a chain. Keep doing you, nothing needs changing

Best pub in North Shields.....!! Great Staff, Great Beer, INCREDIBLE Pies and a fantastic Olde-Worlde atmosphere.

First class as always. Great atmospheric pub. Lovely log fires. No negatives at all.

Called in for a pint will be back for a meal lovely and cosy with the fire on

Lovely meal today with my husband, 3 year old a dog. Great welcome, roaring fire and good music. Thanks team A x

Excellent beers, cosy with a log fire heating us sll up. Lively atmosphere - and a singalong to some fine music.

Food is always great. Staff are lovely.

Went for lunch- bar staff was really helpful getting us a table sorted out for our party of 4. The peppered steak and mushroom pie was fantastic. Apple pie and the cheesecake also highly recommended.

Great. Friendly welcome. Good service. Excellent evening xx

One of My fav bars .. food is amazing .. the staff are brilliant x

We weren't there to eat but what a fabulous friendly pub on the Friday before Christmas!

Cosy little pub with a good selection of drinks. Food available but did not sample as only out for a drink.

pies were lovely...had a bit of a wait..but worth it.

Called to check food and times. Couldn't get off the phone quick enough! NOT FOR ME!

Old school pub. Lovely warm atmosphere and a great selection of beers and spirits to be had. A highly respectable choice of Whiskys too!

Best steak and ale pie in the region...

Cosy! Fun! Relaxing! Busy place, good, helpful, and friendly place for a drink. Next time we will try the food cooked by their chef 👨‍🍳

Food amazing, service first class and live singers, fantastic 👏

Proper ,snuggly, dim lit pub great for a cold winters night .

A little disappointed with my first visit as it was virtually empty. Have to give it another go though

Love this place. it's has a large selection of home made pie 🥧 it's so close to the beach. Staff are so welcoming. I recommend this place to all who love pie 🥧.

Lovely food, friendly staff and good beers

Great pub, great venue, great staff. Great 🍻

Great local pub with atmosphere entertainment and good beers , loved it 🙂

Came in yesterday about 3.30 pm for a Steak and Cheddar pie. Absolutely superb, the best pie I've ever had in my life. Best pint of Guiness in North Shields to boot. Will be back!

Nice pub but served by a really moody woman. Needs to cheer up

Great lunch out. Drivers loved the zero Guinness. Staff very friendly and food was excellent. Fish and chips and pies all brilliant Cheers and thank you.

Food was spot on and could eat this all over again 😋 Coming back soon, staff very friendly reasonable prices sam fenders brit award can be spotted here 10/10 brilliant Geordies 🖤👍

Lovely place, best food around, the pies are magnificent, you won't be disappointed 😋

best food in the world always a pleasure to be back !

Traditional pub with a great atmosphere in the heart of the fishquay. Pies are the showstoppers here. Steak and ale pie, chock-a-block with filling, Corned Beef pie is a classic done really well and probably the best we've ever had. Gravy rich and tasty and mushy peas are lush. Only criticism is that the battered cod was measly for the price. That was a let down. Whilst the Waterfront chippy at the bottom of the street can't compete on pies and pints, they do knock spots off the lowlights for fish. They do monster battered cod for less cost. I would go back to the Lowlights for pies and pints only.

Best pies around. Ever. Fact. And dog friendly!

Best pies ever, friendly staff and lovely to our dog

My wife and myself had a great time in the Low Lights as always.

My first time at this lovely little pub sampling their famous pies and wasn't disappointed. Probably the best I've ever eaten, accompanied by proper chips and proper gravy. Good selection of lagers and ales. Dogs are welcome and a friendly, bustling atmosphere await inside.

Came on Friday to see a band decided to eat first & glad we did as food was lovely. Would recommend it.

The pies are great . We had the steak pie and the mince and onions.

Recommend to visit by a local friend. We both had an amazing fish pie and found this charming old pub to be really friendly and welcoming

Little gem of a place. Pies are awesome with real home cooked chips and mush peas. Best bar food ive had in a good while.

This pie and ale establishment is proper. Especially good if coming by ferry from South Shields

Took my 76year old mother for dinner who doesn't eat much so asked to have a child's potion and pay for a full potion and was told she had to be under 14 years for the kidder menu so just got a smaller adults it came and was over cooked.I asked for cod and chips with garden peas but got 3 1/4 salad (I Know ) with fish and chips??and mushy peas whitch i don't like VERY DISAPPOINTED

Small cosy friendly pub bar + lounge/out side seats 5 h/ pulls beer good.

We only went in for a drink but it’s a lovely old fashioned pub that had 4 good real ales on.

Just love this bar, the feel of it is fantastic ,it's like getting a big hug of your granny just so comfy and friendly and once you've eaten you just want to curl up and fall a sleep . There's just something about it ❤😊

Really cool pub that very much fits its surroundings. Sadly, the cask beer I had wasn't in great condition at all and was a drain pour. For me, a pub is only as good as the quality of the beer.
